What it is

Chicken raised without the routine use of antibiotics. This means that if the chickens get sick, veterinarians can still treat them with antibiotics, but the animals are not given antibiotics regularly for growth promotion or disease prevention. The meat is then processed for consumption.

Why it's used

This ingredient is used to provide a source of protein in prepared foods. It is often found in soups, stews, and other savory dishes where chicken is a primary flavor component.

Health notes

Chicken raised without antibiotics is not a regulated food additive. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) oversees claims related to antibiotic use in meat production. There is no specific regulatory evaluation by bodies like JECFA or EFSA for this production method. Some consumers choose this option due to concerns about antibiotic resistance, a public health issue recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Allergen info

Chicken is not one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
